    A feature that permanently deletes 5000 files with one click without warning deserves a fuck you.

      It had a reasonably clear warning, though; a screenshot is included in this response from the devs. But note that the response also links to another issue where some bikeshedding on the warning occurred and the warning was ultimately improved.

        If you have no idea what Git is, that warning message is not telling you you’re about to delete 5000 files.

        But I wonder if this person maybe does know about Git because they used the word „stage“.

        OK this is hilarious

        When you sell hammers you’ll likely have people using them to hit their own heads, which, understandably, they will put the hammer at fault. Now, we already put a big don’t hit this on your own head label on our hammer. Should we actually prohibit people from head hitting with our hammers? Probably not, since some users still want to hit heads with it. It’s just how hammers work.
